I loved reading Eckhart Tolle’s great books "The Power of Now" and "The New Earth". Though every line of his books seems to be a good quote, I
think the following quotes are worth reading and remembering.

-

- N.Ganeshan

“If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you
think you are is exactly that: small.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful
purpose”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more
futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what
could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now?
Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts
working for you rather than against you.”

“What a caterpillar calls the end of the world we call a
butterfly.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You
won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define
you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem.
Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a
role, but as the field of conscious Presence.”
― Eckhart
Tolle,

“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power
than defending or hanging on.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“The foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of
the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot
lose something that you are.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“When you don't cover
up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your
life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought,
became possessed by thought.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want
too much and forget about the joy of just Being.”
― Eckhart
Tolle

“Instead of asking, “what do I want from life?,” a more
powerful question is, “what does life want from me?”
― Eckhart
Tolle
